EDK Rotary Feeder

The Jeffrey Rader brand presents the innovative EDK Rotary Feeder/Delumper, meticulously engineered for the demanding needs of the plastics industry. This feeder is adept at precise volumetric feeding of polypropylene and polyethylene resin even under extreme pressures and temperatures. Featuring dual top knives for effective shearing, variable speed control, and anti-stall capabilities, it ensures uninterrupted operation in rugged applications. Its design incorporates advanced features such as a double-helical rotor with a labyrinth seal, adjustable end seals, and optional stainless-steel components. The feeder’s anti-jamming mechanism automatically reverses rotation to clear obstructions, guaranteeing continuous, efficient performance. With standard features like polished rotor surfaces to prevent material build-up and optional accessories including custom transitions and sight glasses, the EDK Rotary Feeder/Delumper offers unparalleled reliability and precision in material handling.

Features:

Dual Top Knives: Equipped with dual top knives for shearing oversized materials in both rotation directions.
Double-Helical Rotor: Features an eight-blade, closed-end rotor design with a two-blade labyrinth seal to minimize gas leakage.
Special Rotor Tip Overlay: Rotor tips are overlaid with 410 stainless steel for enhanced durability and shearing efficiency.
Adjustable End Seals: End seals are easily adjustable without removing the machine, ensuring convenience in maintenance.
Heavy-Duty Outboard Bearings: Utilizes heavy-duty outboard bearings for robust operation and extended lifespan.
High-Temperature Operation: Designed to operate at temperatures up to 230ºF (110°C), suitable for high-temperature applications.
Anti-Jamming Feature: Automatically reverses rotation direction when encountering large lumps, with up to three attempts to shear the material.
Stall Alarm: Alerts operators with an alarm in case of a stall condition, ensuring prompt attention to resolve issues.
Polished Rotor Surfaces: Rotor surfaces are polished to prevent material build-up, maintaining consistent performance.
